Sean Keeler has now made himself totally irrelevant.

In my 30 plus years as a Journalist, I have never seen any reporter make themselves as totally irrelevant as Sean Keeler of the Des Moines Register. His apparent total disdain for Iowa State University came though with flying colors with his bias, hit job reporting on the future of Iowa State athletics. At no time in his coverage, did he ever elude to any possible positive ending to this story. Instead, he used scare tactics, bias comments and downright hate filled reporting. He is the poorest example of a Reporter I have seen, and has successfully made himself irrelevant.

His irresponsible journalism was a disservice to ISU fans, U of I fans and the state of Iowa. If his goal was to "stoke the fire" of dissent among the two schools, he did accomplish that.

STOP READING HIS DOODY (OR POOP IF YOU WILL)!

That is the only way to make him go away! He is like the inverse of T-Rex, instead of "He can't see you if you don't move", it is "He can't be the worst journalist you've ever read if you don't read him".

I actually always got the impression he leaned Iowa State to be honest. In Iowa's down years a few years back he absolutely piled on Iowa again and again. He had absolutely nothing positive to say. I think he just enjoys kicking people when they're down. He wasn't bad last year since Iowa was successful, but the second that either school is down he seems to just pile right on.

So basically, you're saying he's a

By the way, if anyone wants to photoshop Keeler's face into this, I'd probably make it my avatar.

Re: Sean Keeler has now made himself totally irrelevant.

It is very sad that the most negative media coverage of Iowa State during this whole ordeal was from the media in Iowa. I'm not bashing Keelor, most all of them were in the same boat on this.

It is pathetic that the media in Iowa has the most skewed version of Iowa State Universities' worth.... and not the usual, sunshine pumping bias local media has.... they have a skewed perception of Iowa State in the wrong direction.

The KC media always respects ISU more than central Iowa, there was never any talk of them heading to the MAC, they were always assumed to end up with KU/Kstate in an existing or newly created BCS level conference.
